"What are you doing here?" Zhao Ji saw the confusion and panic in Yuan Lu's eyes and smiled. He hadn't expected that bringing Wei Tingyu along would serve the purpose of borrowing Wei's power.

"By the order of the Lord!" Yuan Lu composed himself, gave a cold laugh, and then looked at Zhao Ji, saying, "I'm not telling you!"

The tone was exactly like a little kid deliberately playing a prank on someone.

"Could it be that Lord Zhao is getting old and his memory is failing?"

"I'm no longer a member of the Six Paths Hall!"

Seeing Yuanlu's arrogant and smug appearance, Zhao Ji simply curled his lips speechlessly, then waved his hand, and the two rows of Six Paths Hall warriors behind him rushed into the Ning residence without saying a word.

"Don't go in!" Upon seeing this, Yuanlu, who had been smug, immediately became angry and rushed forward to block the two people at the front without saying a word.

He then blocked the main entrance with his entire body, and said angrily, "Do you have any conscience? Ning Tou just passed away, aren't you afraid of disturbing his spirit?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Six Paths Hall warriors hesitated for a moment and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Seeing this, Zhao Ji frowned and shouted, "Attack!"

Clearly, his words had more intimidating effect on these Six Paths Hall warriors, and they immediately rushed into the Ning residence without hesitation.

Genroku wanted to stop them, but unfortunately, he couldn't fight against so many opponents.

His lightness skill and ability to use hidden weapons were quite good, but he couldn't handle so many Six Paths Hall warriors in a direct battle. In just a few moves, they broke through the gate and stormed into the Ning residence.

"Please, Lord Marquis!" Zhao Ji nodded upon seeing this, then turned around with a smug look, cupped his hands to Wei Tingyu, and made a gesture of invitation.

Most people, seeing things escalate to this point and people actually fighting, would hesitate to get involved, but Wei Tingyu didn't care!

He came today with the mindset of watching the drama unfold, wanting to see just what kind of person this famous Ning Yuanzhou really was.

Of course, if he really poses a threat, I wouldn't mind getting rid of him beforehand!

Thinking of this, he took Ren Ruyi's hand and strode into the doorway.

Ren Ruyi glanced at Zhao Ji with disdain, then obediently followed Wei Tingyu to her side.

Chapter 170 Ren Ruyi Makes Her Move! The Show-Off Ning Yuanzhou Makes His Appearance!

Ren Ruyi's drastic change in attitude infuriated Zhao Ji to the point of turning white in his heart!

When Wei Tingyu led Ren Ruyi into the Ning residence, Yuan Lu had not yet been defeated. On the contrary, he gradually suppressed the warriors of the Six Paths Hall by relying on his familiarity with the situation inside the residence!

Seeing this, Zhao Ji, who was following behind, twitched at the corner of his mouth. This was just too embarrassing!

So many people against one, and they're still no match? ...Wei Tingyu and Ren Ruyi were watching from behind the whole time!

When the boy named Yuanlu saw Wei Tingyu leading Ren Ruyi in first, he immediately threw out two hidden weapons from his sleeve.

After the two hidden weapons flew into the air, they dispersed again, turning into dozens of smaller hidden weapons that shot directly at Wei Tingyu and Ren Ruyi.

Wei Tingyu easily dodged the hidden weapon aimed at him by tilting his head, but Zhao Ji, who was behind him, didn't react in time.

By the time he saw it clearly, the hidden weapon was already inches away. He instinctively turned his face away, but the weapon still managed to scrape a huge gash across his face.

A sharp pain shot through his brain, and Zhao Ji's eyes widened in shock! At this moment, he truly harbored murderous intent towards Yuan Lu!

Of course, there's also Wei Tingyu! He could have easily deflected the hidden weapons, but he just dodged them, letting them hurtle towards him. It's hard to say he wasn't doing it on purpose!

Ren Ruyi was indeed angry at this moment! This kid threw hidden weapons at her and Wei Tingyu without saying a word. How could she tolerate this?

Thinking of this, she took a step forward, and without drawing her sword, she struck Yuanlu's chest with only the hilt.

The kid had just knocked down two Rokudo-do samurai when he was hit in the chest and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Then Ren Ruyi stepped directly on his chest, and the scabbard was pressed against his throat.

In just that brief exchange, Yuan Lu was completely shocked! Ren Ruyi's martial arts skills were far superior to what he had just anticipated, and he even felt that they might be superior to Ning Yuanzhou's!

There's actually such a person in Dawu?

But then he thought of Ren Ruyi, who was so obedient and followed Wei Tingyu like a little woman, and felt a sense of disorientation.

Just how powerful is this man who hasn't made a move yet? Yuanlu dared not even imagine!

"Ruyi!" Wei Tingyu called out to Ren Ruyi, "This is Wu Kingdom after all. We should give Lord Zhao some face! This is his official business. As outsiders, we shouldn't interfere!"

"Yes!" After hearing Wei Tingyu's words, Ren Ruyi glared fiercely at Yuan Lu, who was lying on the ground and being stepped on by her, before turning around and returning to his side.

Yuanlu's expression became even more interesting upon seeing this. Such a formidable woman had actually obeyed him so readily just because of a single sentence...

Zhao Ji had lost face badly. His men had almost lost control of Yuan Lu, and he had been slashed in the face by a hidden weapon thrown by the other party. For him, this was an even greater humiliation!

If someone asks him later how he got the scars on his face, he'll be too embarrassed to tell them!

However, he couldn't care less about what would happen next at this moment. He waved his hand, and several Rokudo-do warriors lifted Genroku up from the ground.

This kid just took a blow to the chest from Ren Ruyi, and now he's basically unable to resist.

……

Just as Zhao Ji led everyone into the mourning hall of the Ning residence, Yuan Lu kept cursing at him.

Zhao Ji, of course, didn't care at all. He walked straight to one of the coffins inside and lifted the lid with a little force.

"Zhao Ji! You son of a bitch, you're not human!" Yuan Lu was extremely anxious, because the coffin was completely empty! So without saying a word, he immediately started swearing!

However, precisely because of his foul language, the two Rokudo-do warriors who were holding him up only needed to kick him hard behind the knees, and Genroku lost his balance and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Not only did you cause Ning to be exiled and die in battle, but you even spared his remains!"

"The Six Paths Hall is truly cursed to have someone like you in charge!"

Of course, Genroku was a very stubborn kid, so he didn't back down at all, nor was he afraid, and continued to curse loudly!

However, when Wei Tingyu and Ren Ruyi, who were following behind, heard these words, they couldn't help but exchange a glance.

The current state of the Six Paths Hall is such that it doesn't even spare the loyal and virtuous officials of the Wu Kingdom, and it has completely reached the point of disrupting the court!

From this perspective, even if Wu Kingdom survives this crisis, its reign will not last long!

The court is utterly corrupt, allowing people like Zhao Ji to swagger around in the imperial court while truly loyal ministers and righteous men can only die violent deaths or even fake their deaths to avoid disaster!

Ren Ruyi couldn't help but sigh in her heart. The ordinary people she had seen on the street were living their lives peacefully, just hoping to make a living.

However, when the country perishes and the edifice crumbles, even their simplest wish will likely remain just a pipe dream!

"You're thinking about your Ningtou, aren't you!" However, Zhao Ji, a petty person, had no idea what Wei Tingyu and Ren Ruyi were thinking, nor did he understand how much damage his actions would do to the country. He just shook his head smugly.

"What a pity! Your Ning Tou doesn't consider you his confidant!"

As Zhao Ji spoke, he walked to another coffin next to him. This was the coffin of the old hall master of the Six Paths Hall who had died on the battlefield after accompanying Emperor Wu with Ning Yuanzhou on the expedition!

He then slammed the old hall master's memorial tablet hard onto the ground.

This scene made Yuanlu furious, and he wished he could kill Zhao Ji, that bastard, to vent his anger.

Although Wei Tingyu didn't know this old hall master, Zhao Ji's actions still sent chills down his spine. Indeed, such a despicable person was utterly unworthy of being his acquaintance!

"Ning Yuanzhou! If you don't come out soon, I'm going to burn down your Ning family's old house!" Of course, a villain like Zhao Ji would never think there was anything wrong with what he was doing.

Instead, he strolled around the mourning hall with his hands behind his back, a smug smile even playing on his lips.

Ren Ruyi's eyes also began to look around curiously.

Since Zhao Ji is so certain that this person named Ning Yuanzhou is still alive, is it really possible that he is?

If it's true, then Ning Yuanzhou is indeed a bit too spineless! Not only was his old house broken into, but the funeral hall was also disrupted by the intruders!

His most loyal comrade was now being forced to kneel on the ground with a knife to his neck by the enemy.

Then the shrine of the old hall master, who was like a teacher and father to the family, was also thrown to the ground by someone else.

How could this person still hide and not show up? Ren Ruyi hadn't even met Ning Yuanzhou yet, but her impression of him had already worsened.

If he were truly dead, that would be good; then he would be a true loyal minister and righteous man! But if, as Zhao Ji said, he faked his death, then he is nothing more than a pretentious villain!

With this thought in mind, Ren Ruyi looked at Wei Tingyu beside her, because she knew that if anyone present knew the final answer to this question, it would be her own lord.

Sure enough, when she saw Wei Tingyu, she noticed that he also raised an eyebrow at her and then gestured with his eyes to a screen behind the mourning hall.

Does the Marquis mean... that person named Ning Yuanzhou is hiding behind the screen?

Ren Ruyi blinked, then looked in surprise towards the screen. However, with her current martial arts skills, she simply couldn't detect whether anyone was hiding behind that far away.

Besides, the opponent should also be a master whose martial arts skills are no less than his own!

Of course, Wei Tingyu had already noticed that there was someone hiding behind the screen when he stepped into the mourning hall. Moreover, this person's martial arts skills were not low, and he was basically on par with Ren Ruyi, whom he had just met.

However, Ren Ruyi has now greatly increased her internal strength through her guidance, and she should be able to defeat her opponent with a high degree of certainty.

Based on these factors, the person hiding can only be Ning Yuanzhou!

"Are you willing to part with your Ning family mansion?" Zhao Ji, seeing that Ning Yuanzhou still hadn't appeared, turned to Yuan Lu and said with a sinister smile, "But are you willing to part with your little follower?"

"With that broken collarbone, his skillful hands are now useless!"

"one two three!"

After counting to three, Zhao Ji drew his sword and thrust it at Yuan Lu!

Just then, a figure flashed out from behind the screen and knocked the sword out of Zhao Ji's hand with a punch.

He then grabbed the restrained Genroku and slipped out of the mourning hall into the courtyard.
